Not from the Share web tier with just a nodeRef; it's a string. You'd have to call across to a Repository webscript.

If you really have got a node (e.g. you're within a Repository webscript) then use node.parent.nodeRef.

Thanks,
Mike

it didn't work.

Mayb let me explain my problem. I have copied the reference from RM to DM.

I get problems after clicking the Manage Button.
Manage References: null
and the URL is: http://localhost:8080/share/page/site/SimpleSite/rmreferences?nodeRef=workspace://SpacesStore/bfad6dff-190c-40b9-b0b2-15a4773d841f&parentNodeRef={parentNodeRef}&docName=null .The parentNodeRef={parentNodeRef} and docName=null, which i think is the main cause of the problem.
Check the Code below, I didn't change anything from dod5015-document-references.js

      /**
       * Event handler for documentDetailsAvailable bubbling event
       * 
       * @method onDocumentDetailsAvailable
       * @param e {object} Event
       * @param args {object} Event arguments
       */
      onDocumentDetailsAvailable: function RecordsDocumentReferences_onDocumentDetailsAvailable(e, args)
      {
         var docDetails = args[1].documentDetails;

         this.options.parentNodeRef = args[1].metadata.filePlan.replace(':/','');
         this.options.docName = docDetails.displayName;

         if (docDetails.permissions.userAccess.Create && docDetails.type !== "metadata-stub")
         {
            this.widgets.manageRefs.set("disabled", false);
         }
      },
      
      /**
       * Mange References button click handler. Redirects browser to Manage References page
       * 
       * @method onManageReferences
       */
      onManageReferences: function RecordsDocumentReferences_onManageReferences()
      {
         var uriTemplate = Alfresco.constants.URL_PAGECONTEXT + 'site/{site}/rmreferences?nodeRef={nodeRef}&parentNodeRef={parentNodeRef}&docName={docName}',     
            url = YAHOO.lang.substitute(uriTemplate,
            {
               site: encodeURIComponent(this.options.siteId),
               nodeRef: this.options.nodeRef,
               parentNodeRef: this.options.parentNodeRef,
               docName: encodeURIComponent(this.options.docName)
            });

         window.location.href = url;
      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What do you think might be the reason for not passing the correct parentNode and docName?

Thanx,
Croc

You can't use the RM Share webscripts on non-RM sites, as the JSON response from the Repository data webscripts is different. As you can see from the code, it's trying to get parentNodeRef from args[1].metadata.filePlan. However "filePlan" is an RM-only property which is why the code's failing.

You should be able to find the parentNodeRef in args[1].metadata.parent.nodeRef.

Mike
